TESTING LABS
Labstat International
Labstat International operates ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratories in Kitchener, Ontario (Canada) and Greensboro, North Carolina. While best known as the world's largest independent nicotine testing laboratory, Labstat has expanded into dietary supplement and natural health product testing. Their supplement testing services include identity testing, potency analysis, heavy metals, microbial testing, and stability studies. Labstat's accreditation through the Standards Council of Canada covers one of the most comprehensive lists of accredited methods among independent labs. They follow GLP principles (21 CFR Part 58) and comply with 21 CFR Part 11 for electronic records. The Greensboro, NC facility provides US-based testing with the same accredited methods. Labstat is particularly relevant for brands selling in both the US and Canadian markets, as they test for compliance with both FDA regulations and Health Canada Natural Health Product requirements.
